The successful Proponent will be required to build/manufacture, deliver and supply approximately thirty-four (34) Non-Mechanical Type Street Sweepers as required by the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services Division over a period of a fixed four (4) year term.

In order to be considered by the City of Toronto, all applicants will need to ensure that the performance of their Street Sweepers has been verified under Canadian Environmental Technology Verification (ETV).
Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) provides an independent evaluation of new technologies with a view to validate environmental claims so that users, developers, regulators, and other parties can make informed decisions about purchasing, applying and regulating innovative technologies. The City of Toronto’s requirement for ETV verification reinforces the importance and value of independent third-party technology verification and further underscores the growing demand by major cities to ensure that their new technology acquisitions not only perform according to the manufacturer’s claims, but are also environmentally sustainable.
Additional information on Environmental Technology Verification may be requested at: etv@globeperformance.com.
This bid opportunity closes on December 12, 2016.
